More Spring Break Fun

Halle was off school for over a week, and since we have a big trip planned for next month, we planned lots of fun activities to keep us entertained around here. The beginning of the week was perfect weather and we went to the park 2 days in a row. The first day I got WAY sunburned. Luckily I kept Avery in the shade and Aidan only got a little pink on his face, and Halle...she only TANS, lucky girl! I laughed when I woke up Thursday morning and opened the blinds to see LOTS of snow falling and I was still red from two days earlier...that's spring weather for ya!

2nd park day

(thanks, Mary!)

I was really excited about the new purchase Tucker made for me this week...a new stroller/bike trailer. Yes, I know, we have LOTS of strollers, but I've been wanting one for walking and eventually bike rides. (which means I also need a bike now!) Tucker put it together Tuesday night and Halle & Aidan played in it for about an hour...inside the house! Maybe this week we'll be able to get out and really use it. This is the one we got...


Thursday we went to the Children's Museum with some friends in our neighborhood. Luckily our good friend Julie (aka, Finder of ALL good deals!), had some buy one get one free passes, so it wasn't too expensive. The kids had such a great time playing. There were a few preschool groups that came while we were there so we signed the kids up for a art class to get away from all the chaos. After playing for a while, we had lunch at Costa Vida before heading home. (Pictures courtesy of Kecia...again!)

Playing in the grocery store!

Halle & Kyra loved playing in this cute two passenger cozy coupe.

The water feature is always Aidan's favorite. He spent the majority of the time there and almost fell in a few times. He was soaking wet when he was done playing.

Singing songs in the art class.

They put on these cute smocks to paint in.

My shy Aidan, not wanting to participate in song time.

Although we all had our share of being sick this week, we still managed to enjoy the good weather and keep ourselves entertained. We're lucky to have lots of friends to share in the "good times"!

I think we're all ready to get back to our normal routines tomorrow!
